Summit Awards

The Summit Advisory Board (SAB) is a group dedicated to
supporting the on-going success of each National Summit on Spit and Smokeless Tobacco. We are very pleased to announce the
continuation of the Summit Awards at this year’s Summit. The SAB will
present three national awards at the Fifth

SAB is accepting nominations for individuals or organizations for the awards
described below:

The Amy Hertz Award will be presented
to an individual or organization exemplifying outstanding advocacy and
education in smokeless tobacco prevention and control.

The Buck Tobacco Sponsorship Award will
be presented to an individual or organization that has worked to eliminate or
restrict smokeless tobacco sponsorship in their community.

The Through With Chew Policy Award will

specific to smokeless tobacco.
